(24) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'About the beginning of
Nov.93, Lena sent me a telegram to come to 27 Clifton Hill, Mr.Russ's home and
was told after celebrating one of the children's birthday the night before,
Mr.Russ had a stroke. Your grandmother, Mrs.Russ, was in Germany at the time
with Emily as she had just had a baby (Carl). I was led into his bedroom and
found Mr.Russ still living but breathing very heavily. In about ¼ of an hour he
gave three deep sighs and it was all over. He was the first man I had ever seen
die and it shocked me very much. We wired Mrs.Russ and she came to London
immediately.'.
(25) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'To the best of my
knowledge she had been a lady-help in his furrier shop at New Bond Str, and
later on Mr. Russ had married her. She must have been a very pretty girl with
her sparkling black eyes and curly black hair and her well-developed figure.
She was always very well dressed and was a stately woman when I first saw her in
1890. She had a surprisingly deep voice and the way she moved about in public
and her household and the way she spoke was always impressive and suggested that
she came from a very respectable family accustomed to giving orders and to live
on a high standard. She always spoke kindly to the servants but a few words
from her were sufficient to make the servants obey immediately and always very
demurely. I have never seen her in a temper although by nature she was very
lively.
I shall never forget how composed she was when we met her at Victoria station on
her return from Germany after her husband's death. During those years 1890-2 I
had seen how dearly she loved her husband. Her son Charles was with me and she
said "What terrible news" and we took a cab home. On arrival there she said
"let us have supper first and then I will go, and see my husband." After supper
she went to see the corpse and stayed with him an hour or more and although she
had shed her tears freely she was quite composed when she returned to her home.
At his death Mr. Russ left his widow the house on Clifton Hill and £10,000 and
to each of his children £3500, as near as I can remember.'.
